Mediterranean Flavour Turkey Casserole + Happy Birthday America

I love the flavour of turkey but I do find that a good turkey recipe can be hard to come by (besides the classic roast turkey). Many people complain of hard and bland turkey meat, particularly the white meat. It has more of a tendency to be dry and tough if not properly prepared.

I saw this casserole recipe that was meant for veal chops. I substituted the veal chops with turkey breast steaks and the dish turned out to be fabulous. All of the flavours blend very well together and the turkey is moist and tender after it has been slow cooked in oven for an hour.

Give this new recipe a try to enjoy the flavour of fresh tomatoes, onion, olives, oregano leaves and turkey meat.
